Airplane Houses? - 22 pictures

This contest is fueled by the following news: Airplane is an aircraft that is heavier than air (aerodynamics) for flying in atmosphere with the help of motors and fixed wings. Aircraft is capable of flying at high speeds using the wing lift for maintaining itself in air. Fixed wing distinguishes aircrafts from rotary-wing aircraft and installation of motors – from glider. Fighter — military aircrafts are meant for combat, patrolling, search & rescue, reconnaissance, transport and training. Used for escorting and protecting the bombers, cargo planes and also civil aircrafts from fighter aircrafts of the enemy. Also used for protecting the ground objects from attacks by enemy aircrafts and for gaining air superiority over battlefield. Very rarely, fighter aircrafts are used for attacking the ground and sea targets. Francie Rehwald, a California woman, has announced that she does plan to proceed with the construction of a house made from the elements of a 747 Jumbo Jet airplane. She has stated that she wants her home to have a feminine look -- with curves -- and that she wanted the place to be eco-friendly.

Meanwhile, the nosecone will form a meditation temple. The trademark at the top of the jet will serve as a loft. The plane's parts are being obtained from an airplane scrap yard in California. The total cost of the parts is expected to be about $100,000. The total cost of building the house is expected to be several million dollars. Rehwald's family owns one of the largest Mercedes Benz dealerships in California. The house, when finished, will be on a 55 acre piece of land in the Malibu Hills. The house will overlook a nearby mountain, the valley as well as the Pacific Ocean. Poor carpeting, linoleum or wall papers can contain whole range of substances like styrene, sulfurous anhydride. As a result, house may have more than admissible concentration limits of toxic and irritant substances. Naturally without thorough laboratory analysis it is impossible to find out quality of one or other material.
